> This brings us to the AI tools. Following the pattern, the Orbit website was updated with a banner that announced the service would shut down by June 26 ... Orbit's private, self-contained setup can be replaced with the new sidebar built directly into Firefox, letting you connect to third-party chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini.
Orbit served me well for summarizing pages and videos. I tried to ask the ChatGPT in the sidebar to do the same, but it seems to lack the browsing context. Any idea how to achieve similar one click experience Orbit used to provide?
- internet_points 1y agoThe new sidebar seems to do something like that. To enable: ctrl+alt+x to open, pick a model, then click the ... at the top and ensure "show shortcut on selecting text" is clicked. To use: select text, then hover over the sparkles and click summarize
- Klaster_1 1y agoHey, thanks for pointing in this direction. I just tried that and it really sucked - you have to select what you want to summarize (there's also a RMB option for AI features), and when selecting a whole page, it throws and error. Really hope Firefox addresses this soon.
